Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans
Baltimore moved from No. 26 to No. 18 and selected Joe Flacco, while Houston received No. 26, No. 89 and No. 173 and drafted Duane Brown, Steve Slaton and Dominique Barber. Flacco became a long-term Ravens franchise quarterback and Super Bowl XLVII MVP. Brown became an elite Texans left tackle and Slaton delivered an outstanding rookie season. Both teams created franchise-changing value.
Assets Received
Baltimore Ravens
- Pick 2008 1st round pick (18th overall, Joe Flacco)
Houston Texans
- Pick 2008 1st round pick (26th overall, Duane Brown)
- Pick 2008 3rd round pick (89th overall, Steve Slaton)
- Pick 2008 6th round pick (173rd overall, Dominique Barber)

Baltimore Ravens and Jacksonville Jaguars
Jacksonville made one of the boldest moves of the 2008 draft, climbing from No. 26 to No. 8 for defensive end Derrick Harvey and surrendering picks 71, 89 and 125. Harvey never developed into the edge cornerstone the Jaguars expected. Baltimore recycled the haul into a series of moves that helped secure Joe Flacco and other contributors, making the Ravens the overwhelming winner.
Assets Received
Jacksonville Jaguars
- Pick 2008 1st round pick (8th overall, Derrick Harvey)
Baltimore Ravens
- Pick 2008 1st round pick (26th overall; subsequently traded in move for Joe Flacco)
- Pick 2008 3rd round pick (71st overall, Tavares Gooden)
- Pick 2008 3rd round pick (89th overall; subsequently traded in move for Joe Flacco)
- Pick 2008 4th round pick (125th overall; traded to Oakland for Fabian Washington)

Houston Texans and Seattle Seahawks
Seattle sent a 2018 third-rounder and 2019 second-rounder to Houston for Duane Brown and a 2018 fifth-round pick. Brown immediately stabilized left tackle, earned All-Pro recognition in 2018 and remained Seattle’s starter through 2021; the fifth-rounder became Shaquem Griffin. Houston used the picks on Martinas Rankin and Lonnie Johnson, but neither became a comparable long-term Texans cornerstone. Brown’s premium-position longevity makes this a decisive Seahawks win.
Assets Received
Seattle Seahawks
- Player Duane Brown
- Pick 2018 5th round pick (141st overall, Shaquem Griffin)
Houston Texans
- Pick 2018 3rd round pick (80th overall, Martinas Rankin)
- Pick 2019 2nd round pick (54th overall, Lonnie Johnson)
